Abstract
During the last decade, significant progress has been made in the development of satellite-based instruments for earth observation and in particular for monitoring hydrological states of the land surface. L-band passive microwave remote sensing is a well-established technique for surface soil moisture monitoring, especially because of the lower attenuation and scattering of L-band emissions in soils and vegetation compared to microwave emissions at higher frequencies.
